Combs Peak Trail

Eagles Nest, California

The northernmost stretch of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in San Diego County traverses the flank of the colorfully named Bucksnort Mountain. Combs Peak is the highest summit on that mountain ridge and rates as one of the highest summits in the county. To reach the top, though, you must be prepared for some off-trail, cross-country hiking.
